Hey all!
While checking out short poetic forms I ran across this one. It could be another for our short form forum. I've never heard of it but maybe some of you have. I don't think it's posted here yet so I did it! LOL Cathy This form was invented by poet Eileen Tabios, who is also publisher, Meritage Press. It was officially inaugurated on the Web on June 12th, 2003 (Philippine Independence Day). In traditional Hay(na)ku, it contains: A tercet: 3 lines. A total of 6 words: 1 in the first line, 2 in the second line, and 3 in the third line. There is no restriction on syllables or stressed or rhymes. Variations: The longest line can be placed first and the shortest last. The total is still 6 words: 3 in the first line, 2 in the second line, and 1 in the third line. Multiple hay(na)ku can be chained to form a longer poem. See the anthology for more variations. Examples: Dan Waber's: Nothing adds up. Love isn't math. and Craig Freeman's Moonshine And great Quantities of hills. Here's a link for the particulars. It was invented by Eileen Tabios who is also a publisher... http://www.baymoon.com/~ariadne/form/haynaku.htm A couple of my own meager attempts... Moonbeams are paths to other realms. Starlight creates a playground of dreams. Summer breezes tempt my inner senses. Visuals inspire fantasy, so 'twould seem. |

QUOTE (Cathy @ May 20 07, 09:12 )  A couple of my own meager attempts... Moonbeams are paths to other realms. Starlight creates a playground of dreams. Summer breezes tempt my inner senses. Visuals inspire fantasy, so 'twould seem. Hi Cathy.  Thanks for posting this form! This looks like fun!  I wonder if these might be more impactful without articles, conjunctions etc.? Is it allowed to just relate words without them? If I play with your examples: Starlight illuminates creative playground's universal dreams.

Hi Cathy,
this is cool! And I enjoyed the samples, including your own... I can't help trying to turn a hay(na)ku into a haiku...or do I mean, turn a haiku into a hay(na)ku? Lol! hospital... her eyes reflect the sunset thunder -- his heartbeat out of reach  Lary |
